Hawley's campaign did not report any payments to the firm, nor did they report the firm's work as an in-kind donation to the campaign, which may have been a violation of Missouri campaign finance law. Hawley's campaign refused to answer why they accepted Cooper & Kirk's legal services for free, and Cooper & Kirk refused to answer why they would represent a Missouri AG candidate for free.
